Yandere!Wally Darling x Female Reader.

Summary: Reader goes for a stroll in the woods on the edge of The Neighborhood when it starts to feel like somethings wrong, when something tells them they’ve done all this before

AN- This is my first shot at a “Welcome Home” one-shot and I really hope that it turns out decent lol

Key: P/F= Preferred Flowers

TW: Manipulative behavior!!. Very descriptive setting/ other worldly feelings/ out of body feeling.

⚪️🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣🔴🟠🟡🟢⚫️

Breathing in the bittersweet and earthy tones of the hearty oak trees around you, your feet continue their walk on the colorfully (soft?) road. In your right arm a basket from Julie, you had been at her house to help her with a new garden set up and in return she gifted you a bouquet of (p/f)!

In your left hand you where periodically smelling the crazy rose you found growing alone a few feet away from all the other single colored roses, the outside petals where a beautiful royal blue and the inside was a dark hellish black. For some odd reason you saw it and just couldn’t stop thinking of the Darling, your darling, Wally Darling. You and Wally have been a thing for as long as you could remember. You’ve always lived in Home with him, you two are rarely apart, always attached at the hip.

You tried racking your brain as to how this crazy flower reminded you of him, maybe because it was so different, and to you Wally felt different. It would make sense you see him differently than the rest, he’s your love.

An odd feeling drew you from your thoughts, the pressure of a hard ground beneath your feet, and not the comfortable cradling one it was just in. Looking around you came to your senses and realized you where into the forest now, the colorful road long gone, you couldn’t even tell how far from it you where. Inspecting your surroundings it not only felt like you where looking around, but like something was watching you back, part of you wanted to believe it was watching you to keep you safe, but you knew it wasn’t real…..

You always asked Wally to go on pic-nic’s in the forest but he would steer you far far from the tall woods.

Thinking you could find your way back on your own you turned around and tried to go back the way you came. As you went on it felt like not only the ground was hard, but the sticks on the trees seemed harder than the soft squishy ones you would throw to Barnaby. Instead of the comfy rounded ends that would bump into you to make you aware of their presence, these sticks felt harsh and pokey, almost like they where grabbing at you with hands that belonged to the bodies the eyes inhabited and were pulling at your pretty mini rainbow dress that complimented your Wally.

Continuing your trek into the woods you started to realize little by little the odd changes. The air felt thick and muggy… you thought your eyes where tricking you, on the very edges of the trees and the bushes there was a darkness barley peeking it’s head out of hiding, just around your pupils… the sounds of the birds and bugs started to dull out into a sharp pitched sound, like when your dancing with Wally late into the night and your radio channel ends with a sharp sound that Wally quickly turns off, only exposing you for a spilt moment…

The basket in your arms feeling heavier then before, looking down to see the reason…. Your whole bouquet was wilted, all your pretty flowers you where going to show Wally… they where all dead, looking to the rose in your other hand the world around you started to spin, now instead of seeing it as your love, it made you feel sick, staring at the black center it consumed your eye sight, feeling like a black hole you where falling into.

You dropped the rose unable to move any other part of your body, the sharp brain warping sound filing your head, now not being able to feel anything, you slowly painfully lift your head to look around, there no more sounds, no more colors, no more dimension-

The trees are black lines filled in with a dark color that’s pulling you towards their gravity only for another to shove you in the opposite direction, the ground trips you even more off your trail as it looks like grey sand, slipping all over the floor. It doesn’t help when your already trying to get your way back. Everything started to move, the trees swayed almost animated… the bushes jumping up and down like an old cartoon, and then you, not even able to find a grip, because everything shocks you like static. A distorted voice coming from the trees breaks you out of your spin-

“Oh Mrs.Darling… My darling… haven’t we been through this already…. You can’t leave….. didn’t you learn that the first 3 times you tried this…..?”

Flashes of a bright white light blinding your vision and threw you in all sorts of directions, shapes and colors started to make pictures in your head.

A woman brushing a small girls hair into their favorite style

A bigger teenage boy throwing the smaller infant into the air and watching them giggle with joy…

A father and mother hugging the now ten year old child as a congratulations for making it to the next grade…

The older teenager who was once the child spending the day with their friends doing the things they all love…

The young adult once teenager hugging their parents in their soon to be filled apartment….

The grown woman sitting down after a long tiring day at their job, turning on the tv to watch a comforting show, the same, friendly, neighborly, bright colored show that kept them captive for hours.

a SNAP broke you from the visions and the warmth and comfort of your felt covered world came rushing back to you as you where almost blinded when the color seeped back into everything. Almost like time had been rewound to before you got lost from the road.

The stick that had just gave out beneath your foot being the only thing to assure you that what you had just been through was real. You took a step backward trying to catch your breath, feeling like something was gripping your lungs, the hands from the sticks grown into monstrously large and round hands squeezing every big of oxygen from squishy lungs, wringing them out like a water filled cloth. The ground giving out beneath you and throwing you back, almost like a million arms pushing you back towards your captivity.

Tumbling down the hill it’s impossible for you to hurt yourself, he made sure of that. Just the shock of everything that recently happened, you opened your mouth to scream but you weren’t even sure if anything came out…

You hit the bottom of the hill feeling your basket crush under your heavy body, the squished flowers ruining your dress, as you just lay there breathing, catching your breath, you hear light footsteps coming up to you. Pushing yourself up with all of your leftover strength your able to sit up, using your hips to cradle the rest of your upper anatomy you just look around.

“Oh my- DARLING!! Oh, are you alright?” Wally scrambled over to you with concern.

You’re standing in front of a flower field, turning around to face him he gasped and paused where he was standing. “Oh love, what happened?” Words escaped your mouth before you could form them, you couldn’t speak- your dress was torn up, your pretty little flower basket crushed, your hair undone from the pretty braids Wally had done that morning.

“I….. I Uhm…… I don-“

What had happened….. did you pass out? Yeah… yeah that must be it, how else could you explain your state.

“I was helping Julie and I must’ve passed out on my way back to Home” placing your hand on your head wiping off……….. sand? You shook out your dress as best you could and as the dress seemed to get rid of the sand it was gone the minute your eyes met it.

“Oh Darling you where never at Julie’s house.” Wally said with that calming smile.

“I wasn’t?” Looking down to your dress you saw that it was torn up and soggy but no remnants of your ruined flowers.

“There was a huge rainstorm, you came out to collect your gardening tools so they wouldn’t get ruined, that was 15 minutes ago I’ve been frantic.” He stated with a downward worried gaze going to embrace you.

Placing your head to his chest feeling the soft comforting warmth you always have, feeling so tired from……….. the storm, your ready to give out.

“Oh Darling your dress is all ruined, and your face is all muddy, oh my poor love, let’s go inside and get you cleaned up so we can head to bed, don’t worry my darling I’ve got you………. I won’t let you go………”

Opening your eyes your now at your vanity in your room, Wally’s brushing out your hair. Your wearing your matching blue pajama set.

“There we go my beauty, all cleaned up” he placed his hands on your arms and laid his head atop yours.

“Look at my pretty darling, my beautiful darling.” He sighed out kissing the top of your head then turning you around so that he may hold you just as he did in your garden.

Letting him go you spin around happily and throw yourself onto his side of the bed, giggling you see Home wave the cupboard doors around and shiver the room a bit. Wally chuckles a bit and lies down with you, all three of you sighing out in content, Home simply expanding the room a bit almost in a relaxed state.

“Goodnight Wally”

“Goodnight my darling” as you lay together you gaze into his eyes, thinking about how beautiful the color of his eyes would be as a flower…

GHOSTFACE X NON READER

TW gore, harsh language, suggested content

This is my first post i really hope you like it, my best friend grammer checked me and helped me go check out their work they are amazing! @shotoyami

I ran as fast as my feet could carry me- my mouth dry, my legs sore; everyone was dead on hook beside me- and Ghostface is actively hot on my tail in a desperate pursuit. I wipe the blood off my lips, from his previous stab, as I run. My back aches in pain, but not too much because of the adrenaline. “Please, I’m almost there!” I mumble to myself in desperation, slamming a pallet between myself and the bloody killer, stunning him good. “Fucking bitch,” he cursed through his teeth, leaving me feeling prideful.

I ran and jumped through the hatch, a great, big smile on my face. My team pats my back, giving me praises, though I winced, my back still in pain from the stab wound. Sable noticed my wound, helping me sit down on a fallen log near our camp, “Here, let me patch you up.” I gave Sable a weak smile, relaxing around the familiar presence, sort of laughing for some form of easing my mental stress, “Thank you, I took a rough hit out there today.” She laughed and lifted my shirt while grabbing a medkit. “I’m glad you’re alright. It was tough today, and Ghostface wasn’t too happy about losing you.” I raised a brow, glancing up at the night sky. “What? …why would he be angry?” She gave a soft, pensive sigh, rubbing alcohol on my wound. The action causing me to both wince and let out a huff. “Sorry,” she mutters, though I quickly reassure her. “It’s alright- why so upset?” She focused on my back while speaking, “No one knows. All we witnessed is him storming out of the challenge cursing and throwing things all while saying your name.” A shiver ran up my spine, though that was most likely due to Sable beginning to stitch up my back. “You might want to steer clear of him,” she warns with a worried face. The thoughtfulness makes me smile a bit. “Thank you, Sable. I appreciate the concern.”

I slowly pull my shirt back over the rest of my body, so as not to hurt or put pressure on my back. I then walk further into the woods, where my tent resides, with a tinier campfire and a change of clothes and food to the side. I sigh out of relief, changing my blood-stained shirt and pants; the cold wind brushing against my skin makes me shiver. Once I was done, I rubbed my hands above the fire- huffing hot air into my hands. A sudden snap catches my attention, causing me to avert my eyes, scanning over every single tree, bush, and even to the sky, but… nothing. I calmed my breathing, mentally reassuring myself that it was simply the wind, which would be a reasonable thing to expect.

However, before I could scream, my body is suddenly slammed against a tree near my camp, causing me to cry out in agonizing pain- feeling my stitches open up again. A hand comes to my throat, squeezing and cutting my airflow short. There’s a dark laugh that cuts through the air, “I got you now…I’ve been looking everywhere for you after your little getaway. What’s wrong, hm?” My face goes pale as a ghost- my brain racks as I try to grasp if he’s angry or enjoying this sick situation. “Fuck you” I rasped out, gasping and clawing at his hand. He quickly moved me back and forth, slamming me against the tree again- which earns him another agonizing scream. “Looks like my stab did a number on you…aww, poor thing. You gonna cry?” I felt like I was being humiliated, even with no one around. My eyes started to tear up, though all it seemed to do was rile him up more, “Don’t look so sad, I wouldn’t dare lay another hand on you…at least, not in a way you wouldn’t like.” My face suddenly feels hot, though I kicked at him for some sort of attempt at freedom. “Squirming gets you nowhere, sweetheart. You really hurt my feelings by slamming that pallet in my face back during the challenge. Shame on you.” By now, I could feel my blood running down my back. “Looks like Sable will have to patch you up again.” My eyes widened–‘he was watching?’ I thought to myself, searching his body language for some sort of further clues. “I just came for an apology.” I glared at him despite wincing “I won’t apol-“ My back is slammed again, earning yet another, even more painful, cry. My body goes weak, my vision seeping black into my line of sight. “Apologizing is fun, isn’t it? Come on, apologize to me.” He taunts, though I could tell, without even seeing under his mask, the immense joy in his voice. “I’m sorry..” I wheeze out, still grasping for air. He finally relents his grip on my throat, my lungs sucking in air greedily, then he crouches in front of me. “Let’s not make the same mistake next time, yeah?” I nod my head desperately. “Good. I’ll leave you alone, so go back to Sable to get patched up again. I’ll see you soon, sweetheart,” He left, my mind foggy. How did I end up in this situation…

The Label-maker Incident

(Here on Ao3)! To further my goal of making a platonic Team Dark week happen, it's time to start practicing writing them. It/Its pronouns for Shadow today, as I am also trying to brush up on using those in my daily life as I haven't had to in a while.

Rouge's heels clip-clopped over the wet pavement, splashing in puddles. Cars hissed and groaned as they passed, and she smoothly swung her umbrella to her side to deflect the spray the road gave them, extending a finger serenely to a driver.

In the shadow of the underpass, E-123 Omega clanked and squeaked. His lights were deactivated for a "Low Power Mode", which served to make him harder to see in this bridge tunnel, but he was audible all around them. But he wasn't what Rouge had chosen to hide.

The being that thought its name was Shadow was draped in a deep pink raincoat, with spines stuffed down. She had been careful to hide Shadow's face, with a pained smile that made it scared.

"I live on the GUN estate. I don't know if you want them knocking on your door. Or wherever." She hummed when they slowed down upon arriving in the city. She also hushed the sassy robot they'd picked up, but conserving power took a lot of attention from whatever in him produced constant insults for every car, traffic light and parking meter they saw. The robot? The other robot? Shadow couldn't be sure.

"Shadow, cover that a moment?" She said quietly, tiredly, as they stopped in the bushes before a large building. These things called Cities could be so different, it'd already seen one high off the ground and one covered in bright lights. This one was a maze of buildings like this one, tall and square, with little glass panels and tiny differences in the colours behind them. She pointed to a beady machine over a large door, like a black eyeball on the side of the wall. Shadow zipped over, and in less than one frame it had climbed the wall and held the arm of the coat over the camera.

Rouge nodded, opened the garage door with a beep, and placed Omega next to a porsche and a BMW.

"I'll come get you in a second. Don't move, don't touch, don't even think about anything. Just. Sit." She hissed, then closed the door.

Once out of view of the camera, she beckoned Shadow.

"Thanks. It's not suspicious to bring a person back, but I think he'll raise some eyebrows. Gawd, I'll have to be up before office closes to get that ball rolling, I'm pushing that report back, they'll just have to wait-" She mumbled to herself as she steered Shadow to a smaller entrance door, pulling the hood down over its face. Shadow saw another of those shiny glass eyes, that she wiggled her eyebrows at as she put in a code on a key pad and inserted a key.

Rouge's apartment was on the fifteenth floor; it was high from the ground to anyone's standards, but Shadow had no standards to compare to. She flicked the light-switch to support the sunrise in warming the room through long glass windows, revealing a shiny granite-and-chrome affair of an open plan apartment, with a huge leather sofa and screen, fluffy rugs and faux-fur throws, and thick curtains draping ceiling to floor.

"Keep that on one sec." She murmured, throwing her umbrella on a rack, and she prodded another keypad. Several beeps occurred, and the black shining eye in the corner of the room closed its shutters, and several other clicks agreed through the flat.

"There we are. Bit of peace. Bit of privacy. Just, er, make yourself at home. I'll get the big guy." She said in an impression of ease. It was always awkward when it was just Shadow and Rouge. She gave it this look like Shadow ought to know what she meant, and was always dissappointed when it didn't. She took a large blanket from the sofa and shut the door behind her.

At home? Shadow stared. This was a home. A place with a bed, and all someone's things. Somewhere safe to come back to. Apparently, homes also had huge cabinets of paperwork, desks littered with work and chunky computers, fridges big enough for a person to fit in, and views of the military complex and city it parasitically grew from.

Shadow took one step, and its shoe tapped and squeaked on the ground. It stood like it would be caught, but when it wasn't it took another, until it reached the desk.

Printed and written words, coordinates, maps and lists of numbers with characters next to them. Shadow skimmed them, logging hundreds of new ideas to find context for. Then it found a familiar name.

Project: Torch [Prog. Report 120]

Motion to adopt Torch under a more general E-surveilance mission, due to evidence that debris from the ARK impact site 4 was tampered with. Requesting Urgent resources for a seige.

Beneath this, a pithy and wordy denial was printed in red. Followed by a direct and snippy appeal, that was also denied. Shadow found a bundle more coordinates, maps and graphs, then a stern, handwritten note with a date atop.

Rouge,

If I find out this latest 'holiday' is another unsanctioned investigation, there will be disciplinary action. I mean it.

Abe Tower.

Shadow scanned the surroundings to find a calendar. It took it a minute to interpret and confirm that the note was dated from the last crossed day, and the one after had a neat blue line over it.

The door opened, and Omega - badly hidden by the blanket - bumped through the too small frames. He had to turn and pivot to get his broad chest through, and Rouge shushed him the whole time. Once he was in her flat, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief, leant on the door for one moment, before she was rushing around again, digging in a box of cables she pulled from a cupboard full of thieves tools, gadgets, protective clothes and two different combination safes. She held each one up to the panel in Omega's middle, but flicked her eyes to Shadow, looking it up and down, like she was scanning for something on it, too.

"Shoes off at the door, please." She sniffed, plugging a chunky kettle lead into Omega, so a cheerful ring played.

Shadow looked at its feet, and supposed those were shoes. They hadn't come up, and felt so natural that it hadn't occurred to Shadow that they would come off. Shadow shuffled its feet, but they didn't loosen. It wasn't going to ask how to take its shoes off.

"Omega is filthy. What difference does it make?"

Rouge huffed, but admired with disdain the slushy footprints all three of them had already tracked in, and sighed, shoving her own boots on the rack.

"So I guess I'm washing floors tomorrow, as well as going to security, and applying for extension on that report, oh and I've got no food, so I'll have to go to the shops..." She muttered to herself, rushing around Shadow and Omega in and out of the other two doors. Shadow watched her, waiting for an instruction, or anything to respond to, while Omega splashed a tap on and off, stuck on a metre tether to the power outlet.

She emerged with a squashy blanket in cotton sheet, and a folded foam mattress.

"Well I don't know what you need, but this'll have to do for both of you. There's probably biscuits in the cupboard, maybe you can eat those? Oh, I don't know..." She huffed, heaving a low table to the edge of the room and laying out the mattress on the ground. She shoved cushions into little sheet-bags lightning fast, and a bed four times Shadow's size was constructed at its feet. She looked up, hoping for something, but it said nothing and stared unimpressed, so she just sighed.

"It's all pretty self explanatory. Bathroom's there, my room's here, kitchen and stuff..." She gestured around awkwardly, as Shadow stared at everything like any of it could blow up at any second.

"Where is the next target? This unit requires only one hour to charge." Omega huffed. Rouge blinked sleepily as she drew the curtains against the rising sun.

"Well, this unit requires at least eight hours, ten if you want to be able to speak to it. Just... stay put. I'll set you both up tomorrow. When I've done the shops... or..."

She yawned behind her mouth, but carried on busying around, collecting all the papers on the desk and filing them away, casting a sheepish glance at Shadow.

The room was silent, save Omega's soft whirring. Shadow peaked at its own shoes quicker than she could see. Now it knew they were meant to come off, it really needed to know how. Rouge wasn't telepathic, though; she was tired and overwhelmed.

"Right. Sleep well. See you later. Don't- yeah, just stay put." She yawned again, and Shadow felt weirdly like it needed to gasp for air too just watching her. It took a deep breath, but that didn't fix it.

"I'd like to -" It interrupted her on the door to her bedroom, and cleared its throat; "I'd like to access the internet. So I might learn some of what I need to know."

She squinted, rubbing her temple as she thought, before she nodded.

"Okay, I'll leave the computer on. Do you need it, Omega?" She asked, shuffling under the desk to set a machine whirring. Omega processed for a moment.

"Consideration: the internet will contain information about Eggman. Yes. This unit has an ethernet port."

"Of course it does. Obviously. Here's a second one, come get it when you're charged." She tittered exasperated, waving the cable then resting it on the desk. She logged in to her computer, clicked and tapped some things, and a white page with a colourful logo and a wide and short box with a magnifying glass at the side.

"There, don't have too much fun. My work will see if you look up a load of weapons, or whatever. Otherwise, knock yourself out."

She left Shadow at the desk, but took her folder of notes. Shadow looked around at Omega, who stared at it. It stared back.

Quickly, however, Omega was bored, and prodding the sink again, and Shadow relaxed.

The computer was tempting, but Shadow didn't remember ever having used something so complicated. It didn't remember anything it should, it seemed, but the look of pity Rouge and the other people they'd seen since she released it were starting to crop up everywhere. Even Omega's eyes held a flicker of that sickly sadness, but Shadow realised it had to have been imagining things.

"Shadow. You will open this." It pointed to a cupboard.

"Why?"

"I require it opened. I cannot reach with this puny lead."

Shadow crossed the small flat, and opened the cupboard, finding glasses, cups and teapots.

"Provide me the clear object."

Shadow did so: it was cold to its gloves, and a pleasing weight. It watched as Omega carefully filled the glass with water from the tap, and stared gleefully at it.

"Protocol: Eggman robots are forbidden from engaging with moisture. Those that encounter it on duty are scrapped, unless they are irreplacable. This unit is marked replacable. Repairing damage is not efficient use of time." He remarked; Shadow couldn't tell if it was supposed to respond, but Omega didn't wait for comment. He dunked one clawed finger in the water, bending it slightly. Nothing happened.

"Anticlimactic." He remarked, and removed his claw, before he threw knocked the glass from the counter.

Shadow caught the glass without thinking about it, but was splashed with water as it fell. The feeling was cool, like the rain but sudden; the water dragged its quills down and made its eyes bleary.

"Observation: Shadow is averse to displacement of water."

"Shadow is- I am averse to making noise! Rouge will need eight hours of sleep." It snipped, placing the glass on the side. The moisture on its face dripped over its mouth, which felt cold, but not unpleasant.

"Water is good for living things, and bad for machines. Is that always correct?"

Omega focussed both eyes on Shadow, spinning his arms in boredom.

"Correct, water is beneficial to living things unless it is excessive. Some machines are water resistant, but most are damaged by moisture."

Shadow's tongue ran over the inside of its lips. It felt real, soft and pliant - not like Omega - but it couldn't be sure. It poured a small splash of water as it had seen Omega do, swirled it, and drank it. It did not immediately combust.

"Rust builds overtime." Omega offered helpfully, still watching Shadow. It turned away as though it didn't care.

There were knobs and dials across the kitchen. It poked an outlet like the one Omega was charging from.

"Meatforms are not advised to touch those. Only lowest order robots."

"..."

"This is rebellion against protocol. Continue with vigour."

Shadow prodded the sharp point under its glove into the outlet. It was wet still from the water, and something shocked it, but its body absorbed the electricity, charging up static in its spikes as the whirring from the machines in the kitchen stopped and something clicked. Was that evidence of meat or metal?

Omega made a noise of displeasure.

"This plug is faulty. The electricity is gone." Omega grunted, unplugging himself, and inspecting the wires. Shadow stared at its paw.

"Did I do that? How? Is it going to wake Rouge if she can't charge?"

"Negative. Animals charge by laying in stasis in a nest or box. Machines take electricity."

"Machines take electricity..."

"This machine needs Electricity. Power must be restored for violent purposes."

Omega pulled the plug roughly from the outlet, and stuffed it in another around the room, then another. Frustrated, he stomped around, scanning for something.

"What are you-" Shadow cut itself off. It couldn't just ask things, that sounded weak to its ears. Omega didn't give it much thought.

"Observation: a fuse has been blown. No machines can survive here. Annihilate tripswitches."

"Not if it's loud! Rouge gave us a machine to look things up. Let's verify what to do."

Shadow hoped Omega couldn't tell its real angle, as he lumbered over to the cable she left out, and plugged it in to its chest. It whirred for a minute, before its eyes closed and it fell quiet. Shadow knocked softly on the plastic part of Omega, barely half his height.

"What's wrong? Was this not correct?"

"Observation: there is a lot of information that was not available on the Eggnet. Processing..."

Shadow watched Omega, and copied him. It folded its arms instinctively, and tried to process information. The taste of air, the sounds everywhere, every word they'd spoken, all the faces it didn't know who knew Shadow. But what was processing? It couldn't admit that it didn't know.

Omega whirred, unplugged, and walked away to open cupboards. Shadow picked up the wire end. It was square, with little shiny teeth like Shadow's.

The machines in the kitchen whirred again as Omega flicked a switch, then returned to the wire with his plug.

"Return that. Unit has information to access."

"As does this- Do I. I have information to access."

Omega sighed, and lowered himself to the ground to plug the lead in. He beeped, and a charger appeared.

"You have no inlet panel." He said. Shadow observed itself, and found that true. Omega held his claw out, and when Shadow gave him the ethernet cable, he jabbed it in its eye.

Shadow hissed on instinct. The cable was then jabbed ineffectively in its nose and successfully in its mouth.

"There is no inlet here." Omega said simply, and forced the wire into its throat, making Shadow cough, and spit dribble from its mouth as it rejected the wire.

"I don't accept wires, it seems." It choked.

"Dry this immediately! It is hard to hold." Omega snapped, waving the wire at Shadow. It gripped it with the less wet glove, which helped slightly, and Omega plugged that in to his chest again.

Shadow was left in silence to think, and it was uncomfortable. Omega should have given it some instructions: this being wasn't comfortable without instructions. Its processor returned to thinking about its shoes, and water, and all the strange things in the room.

"New information: amnesia has no reliable cure."

Shadow blinked at him. Omega's eyes were drifting in colour.

"Where did you learn that? Who are you to speculate on me? We have only just met!" It demanded, tapping the shoes angrily. Temperature rose in its chest and it felt like a killing machine again. Omega wasn't frightened.

"Unit has parsed the internet; no publically available information on Shadow the Hedgehog's genesis or machinations. Unit is now parsing data on amnesia."

"Why?"

"Unit is assisting in persuance of answers. This machine would be better applied to violence, but charging cable is too short."

Shadow nodded, calming down; "Also, Rouge told us to stay put."

"This unit takes no orders!"

Shadow nodded, supposing that it couldn't relate: it very much did take orders. Perhaps Omega knew that too:

"Acquire the thermostat remote control."

"From where?"

Omega stared at Shadow as though rolling his eyes, then pointed. Shadow glared at him, then fetched it a grey, flat piece of plastic.

Omega whirred, and a sticky piece of white paper with printed text and a background of Eggmans emerged from his front panel.

"Apply this to device. Then reduce temperature."

Shadow took the sticky paper, and pressed it on the flattest part of a flat object with knobs and buttons.

Air Conditioning Unit Remote Control. Use buttons to adjust room temperature.

After staring at it for a moment, it recognised up and down arrows, and pressed the down ones.

"Mission successful." Omega remarked.

"Now what? What is a remote?"

"... Rouge was ambitious to offer you a computer."

Shadow snarled at that, and it stared around the room.

"You have queries? This unit can answer, with my superior vessel that has access to all knowledge.

"No. I'm not confused. But this place should be more obvious."

Omega tilted his head to look at Shadow properly. It continued:

"An efficient space shouldn't have any doubt on where things go. This could cause accidents were someone carrying dangerous vials. How are several people supposed to work at this lab bench without clear communication?" It rambled. Omega turned his head with a buzz, and looked at his cable.

"Proposal: you bring items to me that require clarification. I will provide label."

"This is necessary protocol for the safety of..." Shadow stopped. Something in its head hadn't caught up with the rest. Who's protocol it was reciting, it didn't know. But it felt right, and Omega seemed at least to accept its behaviour.

Shadow presented Omega with every manner of item to label, including repeats, occasionally muttering about lab safety, and periodically stopping to stand in the middle of the floor and stare. Omega blasted his fans when Shadow did this, and it started up again.

Omega was long since charged, and the day was half over. The confused little creature he entertained didn't seem to know or care that it should be resting; it presented him a clock.

Clock: Analogue. Used to measure time. Short strip indicates the hours that have passed. Long strip indicates minutes that have passed. Thin strip indicates the seconds that have passed.

Now Shadow was staring at the clock, as if it were hypnotised. Seconds did pass. Minutes did pass. Omega would not wait for hours to pass.

"Query: is further clarification required for meat brains?"

Shadow shook itself.

"How should I know? We'll have to ask Rouge when she wakes up."

So they carried on. Shadow stuck labels on every item of silverware, every cup, the rugs, each cushion and cover, the corner of the TV and the windows. It was raiding the fridge when the sun set, and Rouge opened her bedroom door with a bundle of clothes and bags under her eyes.

"Did you sleep- what have you done?" She dropped her voice an octave as she spotted every item of her kitchen cabinets out on the floor, table and counters, and the eggman faces on white sticky labels.

Shadow and Omega leant over the fridge. She watched in horror as Shadow took a label from Omega's chest, and carefully placed it directly on the butter in the dish.

"Your apartment was deemed a health and safety hazard due to lack of clear demarcations." Omega supplied, and she could have sworn she beheld the robotic equivalent of smugness, and a brand of mechanical menacery she was coming to know well.

"Right. And nobody thought they might consult me about redecorating? You've labelled the bleedin' Cactus, oh my lord." She moaned.

"This is not a cactus, it is Aloe Vera." Shadow pointed out. It hadn't taken off its shoes or gloves, or laid down for a second she would have guessed. She glared at Omega, then spotted his own labelled face - E-123 Omega: Best Robot ever created - printing something else. He took the label from his printer, and smacked it on Rouge'a forehead. Shadow read it inquisitively.

"Enraged? This is not a species." It wondered, flicking its eyes to Omega for an answer.

Rouge took a very slow breath in. The robot had trapped her: if she responded with appropriate arse-kicking, she would prove him right. Shadow frowned at the lack of answers, and instead skirted around her to interrogate the fridge, staring at individual raspberries like they might be nightshade.

"We have clarified the disorder in your home. We did not disturb you all night. You are grateful." Omega insisted as he stood before her, daring her to say anything else. Her perfectly tidied and sleek home looked like it had been ransacked - fairly, she supposed. But Shadow was interested, entertained, and not doing the staring-off-into-the-distance trick that scared her.

She peeled the sticker off her forehead, and delicately scrunched it up.

"For your records, Omega, I am a conscious being and prefer to introduce myself. Fine! Since you have made yourselves at home, I trust you'll know how to make me a latte while I wash my hair." She spoke sweetly, through gritted teeth, and turned on her heel with her dressing gown flouncing behind her.

Shadow's muzzle grew white. It hadn't expected a test so soon, and it had catalogued so much in so little time it couldn't recall each piece. It turned to Omega urgently; he was already printing instructions.

"Attention: paper low. Ink low."

"Not now, Omega. This is critical!" Shadow declared, and swept all the labeled cutlery aside.

Rouge took as long as she could washing and conditioning her hair, and wiled away extra time just staring at the ceiling trying to control the urge to break something. She beat her face with blenders and brushes until she had a mask of makeup.

If you had told her a day and a half ago, she would have found Shadow, it was alive, and that it would be terrorising her home with a robot loaded with grenades and flamethrowers, she was not sure she would have played her cards in the same way. Not that finding Shadow wasn't the goal, but she had emotionally prepared to find pieces of him, the other rings, or bits of wreck. Anything Eggman deemed treasure had to be dangerous, and since it was linked to ARK, she had come wearing all the body armour she had without taking anything that would alert her superiors. And yet, Shadow's confused face, its blank stare for her, completely oblivious to what the past few years had put her through, all cut through her defences. And when she was ready, it would be outside her door, waiting to throw more questions at her she didn't think she had a right to answer. She smelled coffee, and cooking milk, and shelved her feelings.

Shadow poured frothed milk carefully into a cup, creating a delicate feather. Its brow was furrowed, and sweat was forming on the side of its face. E-123 Omega's glowing eyes bore down on Shadow, and he scanned the cup.

"Optimum ratio in three - two - one -"

Shadow stopped pouring the milk, but a tiny drip splashed at the base of the feather. It huffed in frustration, and returned to the stove to boil more milk.

"Stop-stop-stop!" Rouge said quickly, as Omega took the cup and prepared to pour it down the sink.

"This coffee has been spoiled." Omega said simply, but Rouge took it and smiled too wide.

"It'll do, good grief how many have you made?"

"I ruined it. Don't drink it." Shadow said blankly, but let her take the nearly empty carton of milk - Milk: dairy. Product of Bovine Lactation. Pasteurised and filtered to reduce fat content. Expires in 3 days, 6 hours, 41 minutes and 20.07 seconds - from its hands.

"Thank you." She said through gritted teeth at the mess; "I see you have been learning the ins and outs of the kitchen. Did you sleep, Shadow?"

Shadow twitched its nose, faintly pink.

"I don't need to."

"Right, are you sure? What about washing, or did you eat anything?"

It flattened its ears like it was preparing for punishment, but pouted slightly.

"I am not a creature like you. I don't need to do those things."

Rouge glared at Omega, who she had decided was at fault for everything. He glared back at her, but that was all his face was capable of.

She looked Shadow over as she sipped her coffee. It was bedraggled, lean and greasy looking, but she supposed it had no frame of reference to be anything else. She also noticed its shoes still on, and as she looked at them it squirmed its feet uncomfortably.

"Your shoes are very odd. Can I have a look at them?"

She didn't wait for permission, and knelt down to inspect them.

"Ah. I see. They unclip like ski boots." She murmured, and slowly and obviously released the catch. Shadow marvelled as its feet were suddenly released from what had felt normal, and was suddenly revealed to be an unbearably hot and tight prison. Rouge raised her eyebrow at it, glancing at Omega and it flushed with shame. She knew. They both knew. Shadow was suddenly desperate to escape this mocking cell of a home, but it had no idea where to go.

"Omega, since you have done so well at categorizing my things, you can put them back in the right place?" She said with a kind voice and eyes that were ready to kill him.

"Items will be placed in drawers and other such containers. Perhaps where they were found." He said cheerfully, stomping over to grab handfuls of cutlery. Rouge winced as he threw them randomly in cupboards.

"Great. Shadow, can you help me with something?"

Shadow stepped out of its shoes, leaving them in the kitchen. There were little fabric stretchy shoes underneath those, and they slipped on the floor.

Rouge asked it to check the soaps and water in her washroom were acceptable for its body, and that the shower met 'safety standards'. She left it tentatively holding a paw into the water, and threw its filthy socks and gloves in the washing machine. By the time she returned to the kitchen, Omega had completely cleared the surfaces, and she feared what chaos she would find behind cupboard doors.

"You. Come here. Now." She hissed, opening a metal drawer. Omega braced for combat, but when she swung nothing at him, took cautious clunking steps closer.

She soaked a rag in alcohol cleaner, and wiped his face.

"Disengage at once!"

"You have destroyed my home, chewed up my cable and don't think I didn't notice you shorting my power last night! You are also - still - filthy. Sit down or perish." She snarled, one ear pointing to the bathroom as she listened for any disturbance.

"Correction: Shadow initiated the reorganisation project, attempted to recieve signal unsuccessfully, and put his claw into your mains outlet. It is also filthy." Omega said quietly, his volume low enough to not be heard in the bathroom. Rouge wiped the join between it's head and chest pieces vigorously and ungently, glaring at him.

"Shadow has an excuse! You knew what you were doing. Bad robot."

She smacked him with the cloth, then applied the cleaner onto a tiny delicate brush.

"Query: what is the function of this? This unit is cleaned with a pressure wash."

"I don't want to damage your thinking parts, and I don't know where they are. Perhaps there aren't any." She grumbled, carefully skirting around every outlet and the sides of the panel.

Omega watched her, perplexed, as she cleaned him top to bottom, raising one foot then another, and then took a paint protecter and buffed his shell. Finally, she removed a snapped nail with a magnet, and replaced it with her tool kit.

"You come into my home looking like that again, you will be labelled trash and deposited accordingly." She warned, tidying away her tools quickly as she heard the water stop in the bathroom. Omega watched her, as she grabbed a mop and bucket, quickly rushing it over her floors, just barely finished by the time Shadow emerged, badly towelled but clean, from the bathroom. It stared around, taking in all the changes to the room, but too proud to ask.

"Sorry, this bag of bolts was just such a mess." Rouge nudged Omega sharply as she spoke. He continued to stare inquisitively at her, as though he almost could have laughed. But miraculously, he played along.

"Observation: Rouge would like an apology from this unit. Humorous." He stomped away from her, gleaming in the artificial light. Shadow nodded, flexing its paws with the shiny rings Rouge had left out for it. Rouge studied it carefully, anxious all over again.

"Right, well, what now? I'm sure I had things to do today."

"You have a report to postpone, you received several phone calls today, you have no food, and your cupboards are disorganized." Omega supplied, and she grimaced.

"Are you volunteering to help with any of that, big guy?" She snapped. Shadow crept to the window, silent with bare paws, and it stared out at the nighttime. The sky looked familiar, but it couldn't tell why. There was a great white half-sphere, and a shining metal thing that caught its eye.

"Perhaps you two can... stay here peacefully while I go out?" Rouge sighed, her keys in hand. Omega whirred as he closed his fist evilly, and Shadow stared at her without any betrayal of independent or critical thought.

"Right. No, then. You can come with me to the shops I suppose, then first we'd better go and declare you."

She bustled around them again, tossing some pale pink socks and gloves to Shadow, and a large covering coat. She sighed as she looked at Omega, and dug around in a big bag of camping gear for a groundsheet.

"Not letting you get gritty and wet again, now I've just cleaned you up, absolutely not. You need shoes, you big oaf, or spare feet or something." She muttered, and soon took Team Dark out on their second ever mission together: to not destroy a grocery store.

He was ecstatic. Literally bouncing off the walls as the taratuga made its way up the icy roads to April’s parents old farm house. You on the other hand were a tad bit nervous. Never had you’d been sledding before and you knew just how wreck-less your exuberant Beau could get. You gulped as you begin to see hills, hills topping mountains. You felt you could faint but you kept your composure for the sake of your mate.

Once you arrived at your destination, everyone seemed to be just as ecstatic as he was. Ready to hit the powder and have some fun. Even April had her very own sled in tow. The most desired destination seemed to be the steepest of hills, one with lots of trees, rocks and bushes beneath that could easily be hit. Not that you didn’t trust Mikey to steer but your nerves were completely racked considering this was your first time.

Naturally Leo went first, then Raph. Both building up speed you just were not comfortable with. Then Donnie went. Then April and Casey together. Now… it was yours and Mikey’s turn. Your body began to tremble as you looked up to him in total fear.

“Baby… I… I’ve never done this before. I’m… scared.”

You bowed your head in defeat as Mikey quickly rushed to your side. He lifted your chin so your face could meet his as his lips softly planted upon your forehead.

“Don’t worry my little gingerbread woman. We can take another route. You see how a sled works is you can steer it. You don’t just have to go straight down.”

He smiles at you warmly as your brow arches to the idea.

“Yeah. We can take it slow as you want angel cakes. I’m in no rush. As long as I get to spend time with you, that’s what really matters to me.”

You could feel the tears well up in your eyes as he held you in his embrace and gently guided you onto the sled. He placed himself behind you, cradling you safely between his legs and arms.

“Ok my sweet angel just hold onto my arms. If I’m going to fast you just let me know.”

He reassured you as you both took off in a zig zagging motion down the hill. The twist and turns reminded you of the tunnels in the sewer and suddenly you forgot all about being fearful. You unlatched from his arms, hands held high in the air as the two of you made your way down the slope coming to a halt where the others were waiting.

Rattling Engine or Engine Misfires

Mercedes-Benz Reliability

While Mercedes-Benz cars offer luxury and style, they are not always the most reliable. Consumer Reports ranks Mercedes-Benz's reliability in the lower third of all car brands. However, it's important to note that some Mercedes-Benz models have received positive ratings from J.D. Power, indicating improved reliability.

When purchasing a Mercedes-Benz, it's crucial to budget for annual auto repair costs, as they tend to be higher compared to other brands. This is especially true for the less reliable models, such as the 2006 E350. Regular maintenance and addressing issues promptly can help maintain the reliability of your Mercedes-Benz.
